while attending the Baptist Church.
Some children in the front of the
church were misbehaving themselves
and she went up to look after them.
While so doing she was overcome by
the heat and fainted, falling forward
and striking her eye on the corner of
the seat arm. Her eye and face were
instantly swollen up very large and
although medical aid was summoned
it was not until the next day that they
resumed their natural size.
DIED IN TORONTO, — The many
frends here of Mr Geo. L. Deihl, of
Toronto, will learn with suprise and
deep regret of the death of his wife,
which occurred on Monday morning
last. She was suffering from the pre-
vailing ailment but nothing serious
was anticipated, until she took a re-
lapse and died, as stated. She was
the second eldest daughter of Mr
Joseph Chidley, of :this town, and
was held in the highest regard. Her
remains were interred in Clinton
Cemetery, on Wednesday afternoon,
the townspeople showing their sym-
pathy for a former resident by accom-
panying the remains. Mrs Diehl
leaves one child,and her husband has
the sympathy of all on his bereav-
ment.

augural meeting of the Board of Trade

bad been taken, and called for the

ing that persons outside of the Town
Council be selected therefor. --Mr W.
Jackson, was unanimously chosen as
President; R. Holmes,Vice-President;
W. Coats, Treasurer, and W. S.Swaf-
field, Secretary. Executive Council :
—Messrs Fair, J. Ransford, J. W.

Taylor, D. Cantelon, F. Jackson, W.
T. Whitely, N. Robson, W. S. Har-
land, and G. E. Pay. The Board
starts with a membership of 72, which
chow a determination of all brsinees
men to help the interests of the town
in this way.
ON Hon:ES.—At the meeting of
South Perth Farmer's Institute, in
St. Marys last week, Mr Alex. Innis,
of Clinton, delivered an address on
horse culture. Referring to the
Clydesdale he claimed that the start-
ing point in breeding was a mixed
class. Now, a prettier and smoother
looking horse was produced in place of
the rougher and hardier animal of 20
years ago. He thought that a model
horse was as great a necessity as per-
fection in any other class of the
animal world. What was the reason
the horse of the present day was in-
ferior in many ways to that of years
agoyasked tbe speaker. The cause
•was too pnre breeding. Horse breed-
ing of the present day averaged 50 per
reent.,whilst thirty years ago the aver-
age was 75. The good and robust
animal was the kind to breed from.
It was -easy to get a pony, but difficult
to produce the horse of nineteen or
twenty hundred. The strong and
rugged.hor a was better adapted to
the wants 6f the present day than the
purebred flexible animal. When the
.American dealer crossed the line in
quest of Canadian horses he wanted
not only a good pedigreed animal but
also a good animal. If we persist in
producing tbe class required, then we
%hall continue to rule the market.
Mr Tunes concluded his instructive
tddress by a reference to other points
Of interest to horsemen. 00
of the sermon :-1daye we any right
to speak against this traffic? Has it
or is it leaving us alone t Have we
not stead here, an with quivering
lips lined the hyuia,
"Friend after friend departs,
Who has not loot a friend,"
and have felt, coming np from the
congregation, a responsive feeling -
yes, we have lost a friend. So we
ask who among.st ua have not felt the
paieful and blighting effects of rum ?
I have, and so have we all. When
visiting my old, home, a few weeks
48o, I called upon my cousin, and in
course of conversation asked regard-
ing her brother John. Her brother,
as you note, was my firat cousin, and
Jonathan never loved David more
tenderly than I loved him. He was
as fair as Moses; his well chiselled
face defied more than the touch of the
sculptor's band; his great warm heart
and amiable disposition made him a
genial and enjoyable companion in-
deed. God made him to be loved.
So promising were his characteristics
that his parents Bent him to school,
to prepare him for the ministry, for-
getting that it is God makes minis-
ters, not men. Leaving school, he
accompanied his father to California,
when sixteen years of age. There in
the saloons of San Francisco he learn-
ed to drink. You need not wonder
then, when his sister answered my
question, that there was transition in
her face, and deep feeling in her
voice. "I am sorry to say that my
poor brother John is a miserable
drunkard, of the most pronounced
type. He married a wife, and they
had a baby, but soon after its mother
died. He was sent for where he la-
bored in the neighboring village, to
Los Angeles, where he lived. He
came to the funeral, but as he looked
upon the face of his dead wife, no
tears bedewed his eyes, no emotion
stirred his heart, the fires of alcohol
had burnt up every sympathy of his
soul." To me that seems unthinkable,
and almost impossible, but it is nev-
ertheless true. How it pained my
heart to hear that my blood relation
and old companion was drifting to
such a terrible end. That there,
where God and nature have combined
to give the world back its lost para-
dise; that there, where the birds sing
their anthems in the trees, and the
orange blossom flings its aroma on
the golden hours of the passing day,
and with its distilled fragrance per-
fumes the midnight air; that there,
amid these nabive splendors, is to be
found this terrible wreck.
Angels of God veil your faces as
you look upon this sight, and you
men and women of this congregation
your hearts are stirred as you think
of him, not only him, but of his dear
old mother, whose hairs to -night are
not only silvered o'er with the cares
of life, but are bleached as white as
the new born snow, and perhaps at
this hour she is wiping the tear from
her cheek, as her deep praper of
anguish goes up to heaven, "Where
is my wandering boy to -night."
Oh you dark orgies of the night,
who still go about seeking whom you
May devour, and you rumsellers, who
are in league with the deepest dark-
ness, if sin has .left one spot upon
your brow on which a blush may
steal, may that blush appear to -night.
And then, after gazing on what your
hands have done, hide, oh, hide for-
ever your diminished heads. Let us
look once more in pity on this price•
less and precious soul, who is now
lost to honor, lost to himself, lost to
God, and then the fearful thought in
summing up, perhaps lost forever.

It is stated that W. A. Calbick, of
Brussels, elderly BOB ofMr John Cal-
bick, of Clinton, will make a visit to
British Columbia, in the course of a
month or so, with the object of im-
proving his health. He ham been off
duty for some time, and does not gain
up strength as he would desire.
THE SICK.—A great many of our
townspeople are still on the sick list,
some seriously so, others improving.
Mr Whitehead and wife, who have
been down for several days, are much
better. Reeve tMcMurchie is not
able tQ attend the County Council,
being confined to his room by conges-
tion ot the lunge. Mrs. R. Burchell
is also laid up by a similar ailment.
Mr W. Plumsteel, who was very low,
is somewhat better. Mr S. W. Perry,
of Kincardine, was in bed for a couple
of days, but has resumed his duties.
The friends of Mr. H. Andrews will
regret to learn that he has paralysis
of the spine, with serious tendencies.
Mr Jos. Rowell is improving, and
seems to be gaining strength. Mr
Chris Dickson is still confined to his
thorn. Mr Hine is able to be around
but is not out yet. Mr Joseph Chid -
ley is not yet able to leave the house
though up and around. Mr Robt.
Coats is also confined to the house.
A POPULARLaCTURER.—Notwith-
standing the great amount of sickness
in town an appreciative audience
filled four fifthe of the Town Hall last
Friday night, to hear Mr Manning's
account of his visit to the Tower of
London. A quartette, La Grippe,
was given by Miss Walker and
Messrs Foster, Harland and Kay.
The lectureefollowed and was illus-
trated by a large drawing, showing
the various towers, blocks and came-
ments that go to make one of the
strongest fortifications of the world.
The speaker began his description by
taking his hearers through the En-
trance Tower, past the Beef Eater's
and thence along through the many
small towers and chapels within the
enclosure. At each spot ot interest
to the traveller pointed anecdotes,
many interesting pieces of history.
and apposite quotations were intro-
duced, including two quotations from
Shakespeare, rendered by Rev. Mr
Livingstone. The lecture was deliv-
ered in the speaker's characteristic,
forcible way, and he was liberally ap-
plauded throughout. A large num-
ber of the Collegiate Institute students
availed themselves of the chance to
refresh their knowledge of history.
At the conclusion a cordial vote of
thanks was given to the lecturer on
the motion of Rev. J. Livingstone,
seconded by Rev. J. Edge. The pro-
ceedings closed by a Euphonium
solo by Mr J. Gray, accompanied on
the organ by Mr Shearer.
NOTES—Mr James Tremier, of Dut-
ton, formerly of Clinton, has secured
the Principalship of Smithville High
School. We have had our January
thaw at any rate. The town council
will meet on Monday night next ; it
will be an interesting meeting. A
great deal of wood is coming in at
present, and it keeps up to a pretty
good price. The ice crop is small yet.
The County Council numbers' fifty
members, and no less than 36 of these
were counted on Clinton station plat-
form, on Tuesday morning last. A
few weeks since Messrs Rob. W. and
Charles Coats left for Portland. Ore-
gon; after they had spent enough time
there to convince themselves that it
was not as attractive a place as it
looked in the distance, they retraced
their way back to Chicago, where they
now are. "Over the hills to the
Poor -house" will be the song of a
Food many people, editors included,

pretty quickly. The NEw ERA is
indebted to Mr Israel Taylor for the
full report of the annual meeting of
the Huron S. S. Association as pub-

We
ecretary—We are sorry to learn that Mr M. Y.
McLean, of the Seaforth Expositor,
is confined to the house by illness, as
are also several members of the Sun.
The regular meeting of the Y. P. As-
sociation of Willie Church was held
on Tuesday evening last. Misses
Annie and Maggie Ewing,ot Toronto,
are visiting the folks at home. Mies
Carrie Ross, of Whitemouth, Man.,
who has been stopping with Mr Joe.
Whitehead for a year, returned home
on Monday last.
Local Church Chimes
The superintendents of both Rat-
tenbury and Ontario street Sabbath
schools were unable to be in their
places on Sunday, owing to illness.
Rev. Geo. Richardson, of Goderich,
was to have preached at Brussels last
Sunday, but he was unable to do so,
owing to the illness of his mother in
Peterborough.
The usual quarterly seryices of
Rattenbury street church will be held
on Sunday next, commencing at
10.30 a.m. The lovefeast will follow
the sermon, and the sacrament will
be administered at the evening ser-
vice, Rev J. Edge assisting.
On Sunday next, commencing at
10 a.m., Rev J. Edge will conduct the
quarterly services of Ontario street
church, (lovefeast before service) be-
ing assisted in the administration of
the eaorament by Rev J. Livingstone.
Service will be held at Turner's
church, Tuckersmith, in the evening.
Rev Mr Craig has been laid up for
several days with sciatica, and has
therefore been unable to take his pul-
pit work for two Sabbaths. There
was no service last Sunday morning,
but Mr Diehl, of Stanley, (a student
of Bellmuth College) conducted ser-
vice in the, evening, and was much
appreciated by hie hearers. Mr Diehl
preached four times on Sunday, and
seemed to be none the worse of his
hard day's work.
COLLEGIATE NOTES.
The teachers are very busy, all of
them being detained after hours.
Mr Jno. D. Morrow, of this school, is
now persuing his studies at University,
Toronto.
Mr Morrow, B. A., was so badly
used with Grippe on Wednesday, that
he was unable to teach.
Mr Jas. McGowan, formerly a stn.
dent at the Collegiate, was last week
visiting some of his old school friends.
Mr D. Johnston, nephew of Alderman
Johnston, is teaching in Tnckersmith.
This gentleman graduated at the Col-
legiate. Success Dan.
Several new pupils have entered the
Ins. this week and now the classes are
full. No. 8 room is crowded as is No.
5. The university classes are excel).
tionally large this year.
The Captain of football club, Mr.
McCallum, is desirous of gathering np
the uniforms of the club. The uni-
forms have been lent to some of the
lacrossists etc., of the town, and should
be returned without delay to the school.
B/OLOGY Criss.—An advanced Bio •
logy class has been formed at the Col.
leglate with the following pupils.
Misses Frazer and Homles and Messrs
Budge, Richmond, Hunter and Man-
ning. The class is ably conducted by
Prof. Giffin B. A., who is proficient in
this special branch of study,
Mr Robt Beatie, formerly of this
school, is now teaching a school near
Hensall, at a salary of 5350. This is
another proof the graduates cf the
Clinton Collegeate Institute invariably
succeed and find schools ready for
them. There were a large number
of applicants for this school but Mr.
Beattie was from the C. C. L so he was
appointed.
The following is part of a description
given on the death of Wolfe, whish did
not take place at our school, anyhow :
Question. Give an account of the
death of Wolfe,
Answer. Wolfe was a great general
and tried to take Calcutta, but he
couldn't, so he flied. When he was
dying he repeated the beautiful lines
of "Grays Energy" ; "the paths of
glory lead but to the grave." He then
asked how the fight went, and when
they said to him "they run" he replied,
"I had rather be the anther of, that
than be obliged to take Calcutta."
• e.
PRETTY MEAN.—We have heard
stories of some pretty mean men, but
that told of a man in this ylcieity,and
vouched for, places him pretty low
down in the scale. He had been a
yallbearer at a funeral and carried
off with him the black gloves used on
such an occasion. These he after-
wards wanted to trade off to a mer-
chant for anything of equal value in
the store.
bath School Association of the town
The annual convention of the San- Jackson Brothers
ship of Stanley will be held in the
Presbyterian church, Bayfield road,
Stanley, on Thursday, February 6th.
All tee discussions will be for the
benefit of Sabbath school workers.
